Swiss cheese, ham, roasted pork, and pickle, pressed between Cuban bread on la plancha. That's all it takes, but Latin American Cafeteria has turned the sandwich into their especialidad of the house. The sandwiches are made at a station piled high with the ingredients, located in the center of the spacious restaurant. It's a show, it's a sandwich, it's delicious. And it's only $7.99 for the regular; the one in photo is a Cubano especial, which is a bit bigger and $.50 more. Latin American Cafeteria moved into these newer quarters in this new location awhile ago, but its classic sandwich Cubano remains the best in town. How classic? "Since 1974, over 50 million Cuban sandwiches served." That's impressive, even if it is likely exaggerated by tens of millions.
